Juliette-isms 2013
In honor of Juliette's birthday week (she turns 7 on Saturday), this week on the blog will be all about her (because, let's face it, John Hayden has been a blog hog these past 9 months, not that it's his fault). Anyway, first up is my favorite thing that I do every year: Juliette-isms! In case you missed them in the past, click here, here, and here.
January 1, 2013 - Juliette wanted to
hold John Hayden before I put him to bed and he started crying, so she gave him
his pacifier and he fell asleep in her arms. She told Matt, who is sitting
beside her, that "he needed to listen and be good with him like her."
Haha!
March 4, 2013 - Juliette got a note
from one of the girls in her class today. I saw her writing on it and asked her
what she was doing and she said she was making some changes to it because she
saw some things that were wrong and she's going to take it back to the girl
tomorrow! This is definitely my child!
March 8, 2013 - Once a month
Juliette gets to take a toy to school for a special recess time if she has had
good behavior. She usually takes a stuffed animal or doll, but today she took
paper and colored pens. I'm not sure what her intention is (possibly to give
them a spelling test?) but I won't be surprised if she comes home today and
says no one wanted to play with her "toy"!
April 1, 2013 – Juliette was
treating John Hayden like he was an animal at the zoo while he was in his crib.
She had a sign on it that said, “Do not touch” and when I picked him up, she
started yelling, “Security, security!”
April 6, 2013 - Juliette just told Matt that he needed to take some lessons on how to handle babies! Haha!

May 5, 2013 –
Juliette: "When do I get to be
a part of y'all's anniversary?"
Matt: "Never."
Juliette: "I know what y'all do on your anniversary?"
Us: "What?"
Juliette: "Kiss each other."
Melissa: "Is that all? Is that the only day we kiss each other?"
Juliette: "That's what people do on their anniversary. They kiss each other."
Matt: "Never."
Juliette: "I know what y'all do on your anniversary?"
Us: "What?"
Juliette: "Kiss each other."
Melissa: "Is that all? Is that the only day we kiss each other?"
Juliette: "That's what people do on their anniversary. They kiss each other."
May 30, 2013 - Juliette, as part of
her daddy-daughter day just wants to go to . . . Office Depot to look at office
supplies (her weakness).
June 3, 2013 - We had dance practice
this morning at the Heymann for Juliette's revue tomorrow night and when it was
time to practice the mommy/daughter dance, the teacher had rearranged some of
us and had me standing in a different place off stage than we had practiced.
When I told her that it wasn't working for me and Juliette because we couldn't
get to our correct spot (she has to come get me off stage during the dance) in
time to start dancing, she moved us to a different spot. After we got off
stage, Juliette said to me very seriously, "Next time, don't complain,
Mom!"
June 28, 2013 - Talking about our
vacation to Galveston
later this summer, Juliette said, "I think they take all the sea creatures
out while we're swimming. The ones that bite and stuff."
July 4, 2013 - My younger brother
was just trying to convince me to go buy a certain kind of granola bars that we
used to eat all the time when we were kids. When I told him no because I'm
counting calories, Juliette asked him, "Are you counting calories?"
When he said no, she said, "You should be!"
July 13, 2013 - My friend Amanda is visiting from North La. this
weekend with her little girl Ella Grace, who is the same age as Juliette. Last
night Juliette asked Ella Grace, "Are you from the country?" Ella
Grace: "Huh?" Juliette: "Do you live in the country? You sound
like you live in the country. You talk really country. Sometimes I have a hard
time understanding you." LOL
August 11, 2013 - Juliette after
church this morning: "You know what's crazy? Every Sunday someone gets
killed in the Bible but this Sunday, no one did!" (They've been going
through the Bible chronologically. Apparently, they aren't sugar-coating it!)

Juliette is such a wonderful breath of fresh air. To be able to see things through her eyes is amazing. The love that she has not just for her family but for so many others is phenomenal. She has wisdom far beyond her years but still maintaining that childlike innocence that so many lose at such an early age. Thank you for sharing, what a joy to hear and oh the memories that all of you are making. As I read this, I realize that I to need to write down some of the things she says when she is with us. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family and our adorable angel girl Juliette and new grandson John Hayden. What a joy to watch them grow.
ReplyDeleteHA! I love her. That last one really cracked me up. Someone gets killed every week in the Bible! Great. She sounds so creative and fun. You guys are such wonderful parents, that's why she's such a blast.
